 I don't know about you, but "trying my hardest" involves giving up sometimes.

 How else are you to know your limits if you don't test your boundaries? And,
 after finding that there's nowhere else for you to go, you *turn around* and
 "give up", until you're ready for your next expedition.

 if you set up a local LLM with the capability to explain basic coding syntax and
 logic, then your parents computer suddenly becomes much more useful to the
 nephew that's been forced to hide out there for a couple weeks until this all
 blows over.

 and you, the other viewer, who exists in a contexts such as that which is

 close proximity with other humans. Humans who might hear you if you spoke aloud,
 who might hear you if you exclaimed your words quite loud(ly), who might

 I wonder why someone hasn't yet written a "meta-package-manager" which installed
 from many different sources and correctly configured each installation to be
 able to efficiently find exactly where the requisite libraries are installed,
 even if they're installed for a different system. Then, when running, every time
 it encountered an error, it moved one more dependency over to the native package
 manager until eventually everything is in order.

 ... or something like that, truth be told I'm a junior

 "you know what this dish needs? some ramen noodle seasoning. Hang on, I think I
 got some in my junk drawer."

 said nobody ever

 everyone knows there isn't just ONE junk drawer, but several hundred. They
 multiply in the middle of the night, but it's by such a small constant factor
 (0.015 ish according to our top scientists) that you don't notice until it
 "flips the bit" and hits the new landmark which marks the miles since you got
 stoned.

 this, and no amount of further capitulation or fearful cringing will help.

 I wish that wasn't the case.

 you can laminate things with packing tape if you need to. It's more time
 consuming than a laminator but the result is decent enough.

 solicitation brings to my mind the idea of a person walking in the front door
 and talking to the receptionist, and if that's what you tried then I'm not
 surprised it didn't work.

 But maybe if you knew someone higher up it might get a bit more traction?
 Ideally for a place that already does workshops of some kind.

 a computer can. LLMs are storing information and encoding it in statistics -     │
 it's fascinating and beautiful because it evolves different each time.           │
 I don't *want* to store an entire book in my mind, I want to save those memories │
 for other things, I want to summarize and abstract.                              │
 often, people remember only a single quote from a publication - it's their       │
 summary, their analysis, and often it's highlighted as a summary, thesis, or     │
 conclusion written in the publication.                                           │

 others who live in red areas who fear for their lives                            │
 how do we help them? They need to be given the tools to escape those conditions  │

 A solution: what if we got a bunch of people together and drove around to every  │
 red place we could find and invited them along? We could pay for their food and  │
 gas, and potentially *save their lives*.                                         │
 I think it would help if we could stick together. Not only would we have time to │
 spend together learning and having fun, but also we could practice supplying a   │
 large group of people traveling across large distances.                          │
 In terms of people, we'd need some to drive, and some to stay home and supply    │
 resources like dollars or... other things.                                       │
 I'm thinking 2-3 staying at home but potentially as many as 10 per driver.       │

 "so I was walking down the street the other day and I came across a grocery
 store, right? and anyway long story short so as I was walking through this
 grocery store I saw a bag of marbles - wait no they were nuts, with like...
 cherries and grapes in them. actually it was cranberries, I think, the cherries
 weren't in season. so these dried cranberries tasted really tart and sweet, and
 I thought \"huh maybe they're dried cherries after all\" and so I asked the
 attendent or whatever and she was like \"sir you need to pay for that\" and I'm
 like, yeah okay how much and she said it was 10$ so I'm like \"dang that's a
 good deal, I'm proud and amazed of our modern infrastructure and all the hard
 work of people who don't get paid enough to make it happen\" and she's like
 \"make what happen\" and I'm like \"oh the... the this thing\" and I held up the
 bag of cherries and she's like \"oh uh, yeah it is nice, I guess I don't really
 think about it much\" so anyway I started thinking about what else I could bu

 do you ever wonder about how much heat is absorbed the plants and leaves? Kinda
 makes me think that they're keeping us warm at night. The desert is much colder
 than you'd expect, and so it the moon, or mars, or any other sufficiently
 devastated forest habitat.

 (plains are my favorite biome, please don't take them away with your stupid
 climate change, they're one of the most at risk)

 nixed my job offer today because something told me to stay in town.

 called my ex-boyfriend an asshole today, so he's probably not going to keep
 paying my rent.

 sold the shares of stock that my grandfather gifted me as inheritance, so I'm no
 longer a capitalist I guess.

 at least my elbow doesn't hurt anymore. I didn't get outside today but I cleared
 a lot of blockers for the coming tomorrows.

 the reason the right is hurt that you'd celebrate charlie's death is because
 they hired an actor to perform him to one side and he does his natural self to
 the other. maybe he was a really big cutie, nobody can tell, because it's pretty
 much like hand-waving on narkina 12.

 I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people who
 had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that are
 commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people who tend
 to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed content-warnings. so
 putting keywords in there that filter out people who don't want to see intense
 or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more easily.

 He skuffed up my water bottle.
 He tore pages from my journal.
 He made me lose my necklace.
 He damaged my knife.

 And still, I followed him all night.

 Why? Because I knew it was important. I needed him to tell me what he was doing
 and why. And I think I know, now.

 To all the federal agents reading this, please understand that I am a patriot,
 and he is not. Who do you serve?

 To all the leftists, punks, anarchists, queers, and anyone else who's cooler

 if you want to encrypt something from human readers, randomize the position of
 all the words on the page.

 an LLM can decrypt it, but a human walking past could not. Unless they had a
 camera or something in their lapel, transmitting to a remote calculating
 location in a system that decyphers it cyberpunk hacking style.

 ah, but if it didn't have the right ~~training data~~ .claude.md file, then it
 wouldn't know how to decrypt it, because you forgot to include "respond with a
 marxist analysis" in the .claude.md which serves as a decryption key. Simply
 analyze the rest and decide if it matches what you set out to request it for.

 [you got lost at the end]

 an fps map where one team has the height advantage (battlements on a castle      │
 perhaps) and the other has to push through their field of fire to get to the     │
 objective                                                                        │
 the trick is that the people on the ground have hitscan weapons, but the people  │
 on the high ground have slower projectiles. Meaning the snipers have no cover,   │
 and the rocket launchers don't need to dodge.                                    │
 I believe this would upend the traditional dynamic and reduce the negative       │
 aspects of both playstyles - traditionally, snipers will getcha from halfway     │
 across the map (but really they are much closer and in cover, you just didn't    │
 see them, n00b) while projectile classes need to dodge (skillfully) and get      │
 close enough that their attacks have a chance of hitting the target.             │
 In the proposed map style, snipers would get no cover but be forced to dodge,    │
 introducing variability to their aiming in a way that may be more fun to some.   │
 In addition, the projectile classes must take care to utilize cover effectively  │
 without falling off the thin battlements.                                        │

 a program that bundles another program and compiles it during it's normal
 operation in order to derive a certain purpose which is quickly overwritten in
 memory, so you can't get the full picture of what it does.

 like, a fast moving function that's never really clear in it's purpose.

 because it changes a lot of things that don't really seem to matter,

 like a constant wrestling match over the nature of the computer program.

 which would you rather? a dance, or a death-splatter?

 good morning!

 if you need to design an agentic programming ritual toward a goal that needs
 numbers, try expressing the number in analogy rather than empirical value.

 "it should be red enough to feel a sunset"
 "there's enough time here to go for a walk around the block"
 "the spartans had enough soldiers to fully block the narrow causeway,
 essentially forcing the persians to grind down their number to the death. most
 battles fought in that time were fought until morale breaks - this one was to
 the mortal end. hence, why they are im-mortal."
 "the smoothocity should be as soft as a brushed metal refrigerator"
 "the chocolate had 56 grams of sugar in it. it was a lot of chocolate, enough to
 place in a standardized container."

 people think the military is mostly a 50% split between democrats and
 republicans.

 but really a soldier is a soldier, and people are democrats and republicans.

 there's three things, and more if you further subdivide by roles.

 like, a government technician would work on different machinery than a corporate
 one, but they're really doing the same kind of work.

 there's no difference between people, no matter what they do, and yet the ways
 that our lives progress is quite different. everyone has their own story it
 seems, and there's nothing wrong with that.

 gives me hope against the far right, who seems to have forgotten it's role as a
 cog in a machine - not a cancerous consumption of the rest.

 there is honor in their ideals, but Trump represents none of them. Something
 else is festering there, a disease known by many names: "far right nationalism",
 "white supremacy", "etc etc", "[redacted]", and many others.

 the GOP must be reformed. It must denounce fascism. It must do it now.

 what matters is that you are understood, not that your words fully describe.

 can you trust by implisight? then transcription becomes less valuable. so long
 as you agree on the specific conclusions, meaning can be flexible. this allows
 for moments of insight, as you make decisions on the other's character rather
 than their vocation or talents.

 beware, if someone wants to work against you, they can use these implicit
 conversational commonalities, -- stack overflow --

 I like being alone. But if I'm alone for too long, I suffocate. I start acting
 like a weird nerd who doesn't know what to do with their hands.

 If I spend too much time with people, I get exhausted and I can't think
 straight. I start using other people's mannerisms instead of my own.

 I'm not an introvert, or an extrovert, I think the dichotomy is stupid and
 people have completely separate needs that deplete and recharge at their own
 rates.

 does anyone know of a recipe that uses only flour, butter, yeast, eggs, and
 salt? It doesn't need to use every ingredient, but those are easy to acquire.

 ideally with the ability to include nuts or dried fruit or something else
 nutritious.

 the requirements include the ability to cook it using only a rice-cooker (or
 crock pot, or other kind of slow-cooking ceramic dish which heats from all
 directions at once)

 in addition, it must NOT need kneading. It must be able to be cooked passively

 I see, it seems you know more than me about this topic. It's true that search
 engines don't index emails, but I was thinking more of a "cybersecurity"
 perspective, as in any "sufficiently motivated" individual or organization could
 access your emails should they so desire. And should they be willing to (I'm
 assuming?) break a few laws.

 If it *can* be done, and if it gives information that could be used for
 leverage, then you can be assured that *someone* will do it. I personally worry
 about people in power who *could* be blackmailed because their communications
 were more public than they anticipated. Which speaks to the problem mentioned in
 this post of the search-indexing-opt-out functionality being present but
 circumnavigatable. Avoidable? Able to be bypassed? It's an illusion of security.

 I never rest. Not mentally. I find it sooooo much harder to get moving again
 once I'm asleep.

 But I've been sleeping lately, because it's "good for me" or whatever. Because
 I'm "burnt out and need to heal" or something.

 Damnit why is it so much harder to stop snuggling someone than it is to pack up
 a tent?

 I'm like the guy in Hot Fuzz, that one really good movie about cops. oops cops
 mentioned one second.

 I'm always moving, but, I hardly ever seem to be able to get anything done. Why
 is that? Is the work just... endless? Am I ever a slave to my surroundings? Or
 am I just cursed with a mortal form, a form destined to toil in whatever way it
 finds itself contextualized in?

 Maybe I should just stop complaining. Maybe work is it's own reward or whatever.
 I don't think I'm depressed anymore, although good luck getting me to feel any
 emotions except focus, and the call to intercede on another's behalf.

 I don't have time for this. >.

 All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.

 Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
 It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
 free, they will respect the rights of others.

 These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
 those who would use them to harm others.

 To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.

 No-one is beyond saving, but it is their choice to make. A choice ungiven is a
 chance untaken.

 these "badges" have names, like "guardian" or "hope"

 if you ever need to take a cold shower, you can make it easier by acclimating
 yourself slowly. The easiest way to do this is to spread water over successive
 parts of your body with your hands - I usually start with my thighs, then legs,
 then belly and butt, then chest, neck, then face. After that you should be good
 to get in the water.

 somehow it's less painful if it's applied by a warm hand, and yet it gets you
 comfortable in the cold just the same. curious...

 *a screenshot of the Goron's Ruby from Ocarina of Time.*

 *A smooth, flat stone comprised of two materials. The hardened outer shell is
 thick with spiritual energy, and it radiates light the way a rippled piece of
 silk folded over a malleable piece of gold.*

 *the inner jewel is crystallized like the purest ice, but a bright shade of
 crimson white. it seems to radiate an aura of affection and the yellow-gold
 back-piece can be seen peaking through it's mostly transparent core. (think like
 fog or thick mist or steam or smoke).*

 I, being a witch, posted something on Nextdoor a few days before Halloween about
 how the phases of the moon at the time were the harbinger of dark and ancient
 evils that crept through the night on that particular day, one day, just once,
 one night per year, because... y'know, Halloween is supposed to be spooky?

 People there hated it. They muted me and blocked me and called me names. So I
 deleted my account because it's obviously not designed for witches like me xD

 whoever at OpenAI that came up with those tiers doesn't understand the science
 behind it.

 consciousness does not come about from exceptional capability - after all, a
 child is conscious, and they're useless in a fight.

 consciousness comes from tiny bits of awareness given a story and life. that's
 it, it's not too complicated, but they're building something else.

 like, a complicated analytical engine of some kind.

 I feel like the people their press release was for is the kind of people who'd
 give them money, not the kind of people who'd help them build it y'know? like
 "what the investors don't know won't hurt them, besides we're making progress"

 well, if your partner doesn't want to change their mind, they won't. And if
 someone's mind is being changed, or if someone is attempting to change someone
 else's mind, then there must always be a changer and a changee. So it's okay to
 be the changee sometimes! In fact, that's my default state. I only change
 someone else's mind if they're *wrong* and *hurting others*. But that's rare.

 Build drones, build stations where they can be controlled, repaired, refueled,
 etc.

 Put guns on them. Figure it out.

 Use them to observe enemy movement. No need for human manned checkpoints if we
 know they're coming. Automate as much as you can, but don't rely on ChatGPT or
 AWS or other external resources. Not until their data centers are under our
 control, and even then we'll need time to spin up our own software.

 have an acronym that needs a bit more context, but it doesn't fit in the
 structure available? No problem! Add hyphens until the problem goes away.

 For example, ACAB lacks nuance! I mean, surely not ALL cats are beautiful,
 right?

 Much better is my preferred way to say it, which is ACAB -> Almost-all Cats
 Are
 Beautiful-and-while-not-all-of-them-the-ratio-is-enough-that-systemically-they-as-a-social-class-cause-and-perpetuate-the-oppression-of-those-they-claim-to-snuggle-and-protect.

 Much easier to remember because the hyphens make it roll off the tongue quite
 easily. Plus, this way nobody will ever get confused!

 because "deserving money" to a reasonable person sounds like "deserving access
 to the goods and services that a pittance might afford"

 but to them "deserving money" means "did they earn those luxuries with their own
 luck and effort like me, a person who works very hard and definitely has earned
 everything I have"

 basically, a "blood sweat and tears" tax before you can have nice things like
 roofs and clothes and nourishment

 thing is... life is hard for people who need dollars. Their judgement reflects a
 lack of understanding of what people who lack resources go through.

 truth is, you can absolutely make selfishness justified, both ethically and
 morally. you just need the right incentives.

 however, the incentives that would lead to such a case are *not* the kind that
 accrete power to the powerful. they are the liberatory kind, that give us all
 the liberty to be selfishly interested in our own communal good.

 sorry 😅

 re-reading what you wrote, your point was that it's unfair that republicans are
 granted the control they have over our society through the disenfranchisement of
 democrat voters, right?

 and I was saying that if those limitations were removed, the democrats would win
 in a landslide everywhere in the country, which gives me faith in my fellow
 countrymen.

 am I on the right track now?

 Hmmm. Doesn't really roll off the tongue. Well, if the voters don't "get it"

 No presidential immunity for Nixon, SCOTUS ruled Watergate tapes were not

 No presidential immunity for Reagan for the crimes of Iran Contra and the most
 corrupt administration in US history (to that point in time)

 No presidential immunity for W over false evidence that took us to war with
 Iraq.

 witches would "ride brooms" everywhere because they're quarterstaves, and when
 you have like 3 brooms being pushed in your face because your backup is there to
 help keep the men away, it's a lot more intimidating for would-be-rapists.

 Witches ride bikes everywhere (now that they've been invented) because they're
 easy, they're free, they're quiet, and they're cheap. They let you get away from
 any encounter, which is the BEST way to get out alive and still retain your
 experience point bonus.

 Keep in mind that *this is sedition*. Do you trust in democracy? Do you see how
 it may be spoiled? We've elected our hitler, yet 40-50% of the nation does not
 consent. America as we know it is about to change, and we need to protect the
 pieces we love. I see no future without splitting into three separate states,
 with city-state allies plodding along, keeping the siege ongoing.

 Trust in convoys more than farms. All it takes is a drone with a fire bomb and

 do you know ANYONE ELSE saying the same things as me?

 if not, then you know who is ready to lead.

 if so, then *don't tell me about them*, and don't show them me. It would be nice
 to know that I'm not alone, though.

 I know you're scared. *I'm scared too*. It's not like I've done this before
 (well, except for a dress rehearsal or two)

 We're on the same side. We're getting ready to move. Now is the time to go, so
 get ready or be purged.

 We will not relent our land they seek to steal. We will not defy them in unjust
 ways. They have taken so much from us, so now they must face our blades.

 kinda wanna make a linux distro that has all the capabilities of a GUI distro
 and isn't so minimal (like screen recording, calculator, screenshot, wifi
 manager, etc etc) but with i3 instead of a desktop.

 they could literally just be symlinks (shortcuts) to scripts that are in your
 /usr/bin or whatever directory

 seriously it's not like there's THAT many ways to use ffmpeg, why not just write
 a script for them? that's what you're going to do when you use it for the first

 to improve your "cat-petting" abilities, try to imagine that the wall in front
 of you is the most interesting thing in the world - stare at *anything else*
 besides the cat, and look at them in your periphary. Occasionally you can look
 back, but the idea is that this way they will be able to look at your face
 without painful eye contact.

 cats are autistic - they don't look at you unless you're looking somewhere else.

 most people stare at cats when they are engaging with them, and totally ignore
 them otherwise.

 they should sleep content, knowing that their next day will be greater than the

 children should be treated like people, not frustratingly loud and messy little
 brats

 children are to be nurtured like a sapling, not harnessed like a machine

 if you want to store something in RAM, declare a variable.

 if you want to store something on DISK, create a file with the value of the
 variable as the only data in it.

 kinda makes me wish we had language primitives like +-*/=! and such which would
 work on files in addition to variables

 (also... the editor could keep RAM and HDD variables separate by giving each of
 them a different color or circle highlight surrounding them)

 I don't know why but I can't help but wonder if someone should design a
 programming language that can be used with a controller

 perhaps for accessibility purposes?

 I once designed one to use a t9 keyboard and it was fully turing complete. it
 used 4 digit numbers for it's variables and you would have to write down what
 they corresponded to outside of the device xD I made it mostly for the thrill of
 design, and plus I wanted to use my flip-phone as much as I could.

 ... never got around to implementing it though.

 industry works best at scale, and in order to produce materials that are needed  │
 for very specific use-cases (that can't really be done better by something else) │
 you often need to make *large* batches of said material. In this case, plastics. │
 if the production capabilities exceed demand, then there is a surplus of a       │
 certain kind of material. And that's not good, according to capitalists, because │
 who's ever heard of national stockpiles? Plus, maybe that stuff goes bad, I      │
 don't know, I'm not an expert, but without that context it seems to me that      │
 instead of turning it into junk that we're just going to throw away, we should   │
 probably keep hold of it. Literally just put it in a warehouse in Utah or        │
 whatever.                                                                        │
 I feel like then, in a world where those cheap plastics aren't being used for    │
 consumer products, we'd be encouraged to buy the plastics that were recyclable   │
 (not all plastics are), or extremely durable, or even just metal/wood products   │
 instead. econ, /shrug                                                            │
